I agree, 30% should be a reasonable ballpark average for a van or truck, provided your rate and/or f.s.c. follows the increase in fuel prices.

I'm not sure. I dumped my 1998 at 375,000 miles and probably should have kept it another couple of years. I have been mentally building some type of cube van for years, so maybe this fall?

Creach are you saying that DexedrINE, BenzedrINE and PseudoephedrINE will show up in my urINE?

Can a solo straight truck driver make money? Can a needle pass through the eye of a camel? The answer to both these questions is yes! There are many E.O. members who are successful solo straight truck drivers. As mentioned, find a "solo friendly" company to lease to. I have a friend who...
